| Title | Letter from [Alan Archibald Campbell] Swinton, to The Editor, The Electrician |
| Creator | Swinton; Alan Archibald Campbell (1863-1930); British electrical engineer |
| Date | 13 May 1929 |
| Description | Thankful that his letter on the incandescent lamp jubilee was published but finds that, through the courtesy of Mr. Lane Fox Pitt himself, who has lent him a copy of his patent of 1878, he was not only the first patentee of electric distribution at constant potential, with everything in parallel. but he was also the first to patent what is now known as the gas-filled metal-filament lamp, his patent being prior to Swan and Edison. Discusses the use of filaments of tungsten. |
